Leave
Leave
I needed to leave
but I didn't know how
I felt like a kid
afraid of a mouse
I had not yet built
another house
but I needed to leave
so I cried my way out...
I needed to leave
not easy decision
but I was so keen
to do that transition
I preferred the streets
over the traditions
of giving up my dreams
for a life of contradictions.
I needed to leave
And have no regrets
I carried with me
My head and legs
my drawings my esteem
my words my strength
I needed to leave
so I left.
